You want to learn how to improve the quality of your meetings and limit the time spent in them to what is necessary? You’d like to increase the effectiveness of your meetings? Join the workshop on advancing your meeting skills with expert Wim Coessens on Tuesday 4 April! 

At the end of this training, you can expect to:

  • be able to improve the quality of the meetings in which they participate.
  • have a structured agenda that is provided to all participants in advance.
  • increase the involvement in the meeting by opening up the agenda to the participants so that they can contribute their agenda items.

  • tackled every agenda item according to the CORPI model
  • realize that the effectiveness of a meeting depends on careful and timely preparation, efficient consultation during and clear (+ accepted) agreements about the follow-up after the meeting.
